I'd love to own a Sten but that's the future when I get a bigger safe.

Andhar, they are all different designs as Paul Mauser worked out the details. The 1871 is a very different rifle from the 1898 and I think it would be a whole lot of fun to have shootable rifles of the whole sequence from 1871 to 1948 (the Yugo which was the last one in production). There are a couple of duplications but that's because the given rifle (1908 Brazilian, forex) is a nice version. Except the 1916 - I just want one as a 7.62x51 trunk rifle.

I'm glad to see a couple of you guys have the Hakim on your list. I handled one but passed on buying it. I went back the next day when I changed my mind but it was already gone. They are really, really cool.

Baba Louie beat me to words about the British "JC".
As for "iamkris", please don't encourage his photographic adventurism.
His rifle 'harem' :)makes me drool almost as much as Mrs. Field's Cookies and Megyn Kelly:) (on Fox).

Enfield #5.
Enfield #4.
Won't have a Garand until August.
If I learn to aim/shoot the Yugo Mauser, it will be on the list.
